There is still a path for @joy4ok vs. @ChuckHoskin_Jr in the general, and it would immensely raise 2022 participation within the Five Nations and others.
And it would be refreshing to have a positive general campaign season, for once.
IMO, in Oklahoma, a Conservative Democratic administration is equivalent to a Moderate (i.e., not insurrectionist) Republican administration.
All Oklahomans who are against the current path of the Oklahoma GQP, maybe should look at both angles.
That means that every Republican primary should have a moderate Republican challenger, and EVERY office/seat should have a Democratic challenger, if only to improve turnout among Oklahomans who want a more sane path for Oklahoma politics.
Turnout in Oklahoma is key in 2022.
A way too small number vote in non-presidential years, that is, well under 50% of eligible voters.
Let's give people not happy with @GovStitt more reason to go to the polls, whether that be through Republican registered voters who may crossover to vote for @joy4ok in the general, or new Democratic voters generated by excitement over @joy4ok's candidacy.
And as my new moniker hints, there is a place for @davidfholt in the U.S. Senate, whether it be as a non-insurrectionist Republican, or one who makes a similar decision as @joy4ok, and decides to run on the Democratic ticket.

They did it to spread disinformation, set up excuse for the deaths, and most disgustingly,
To Astroturf for DeSantis.

/2 At the time of this post, the debunked @CarlyAtch tweet of Thursday had 76 retweets, the first being from the Press Secretary of Florida Governor DeSantis, Christina Pushaw.
Coordination, or coincidence?
/3 On my scan through the 76 retweets, I found 4 (allegedly) Oklahoma-based posters, 2 being institutional, and 2 appeared to spam retweet dozens of GOP-propaganda tweets daily.
This was the report that @GovStitt refused to post on the OSDH site, and it called for aggressive measures that Stitt did not implement.
Stitt hates Oklahomans.
What was also bad about @GovStitt not sharing the 12/13/20 Coronavirus Task Force Report?
Just prior to that report, deaths in Oklahoma began to spike, and via their hospital monitoring, Stitt knew or should have known about that rapid increase in deaths.
Comments and update, including areas under investigation, follows.

Comments: FOX 23 and KFOR have asked OSDH and Interim Commissioner Frye about discrepancies between death certificate data, considered the gold standard by CDC, and the number of deaths underreported by the State. No meaningful explanation was given. (more)
2/ In fact, CDC death certificate data often takes weeks to be received tabulated, so the undercount may be much higher than the current 391 death difference. Based on 156 deaths being reported in the past 7 days, the CDC undercount could easily be several hundred. (more)
One explanation for COVID denialism. The #ETTD theory, "Everything Trump Touches Dies," creates a situation where people cling to clearly wrong policy/beliefs because the alternative, life without Trump, is not sustainable, because of criminal acts carried out under Trump. (more)
2/ Fraud is illegal in the United States, and appellate attorneys lying to courts and to citizens is just the most recent manifestation of fraud. Trump was built on fraud, sustained by fraud, and is clinging to his last hopes of remaining in power by fraud. (more)
3/ But #ETTD kicks in when those in Trump's circles perpetuate fraud, knowing untruths intending to deceive. These conspirators are captured. If Trump is no longer the Executive, they are vulnerable to criminal prosecution. (more)
